February is Pet Dental Health Month!
Lack of dental health in dogs and cats can lead to dental disease, which can cause more serious health issues. Toxins from periodontal disease get absorbed into the pet's blood stream which can cause infection in the body. This can potentially damage kidney, lever, heart, and brain tissue.
It's estimated that over 80% of dogs will show signs of periodontal disease by age three! I think we can safely say that paying attention to a dog's teeth should be part of our overall dog health care routine.
The large majority of dog owners don't brush their dog's teeth at all. That doesn't surprise me, in fact I'm one of those dog parents who don't brush their dog's teeth. Oh, it's not for lack of effort, believe me I've tried many times! But honestly it was always a struggle, especially with my Siberian Husky, Icy. She hated it! My efforts at trying to develop a habit of brushing their teeth every day was an Epic Fail. But you know what? It's OK, because I found a great line of brushless pet dental health products. That's right, I said BRUSHLESS!
Providing dental care for my dogs is easy with the Oratene line of Brushless Pet Oral Care products, by Zymox. With Oratene, my dogs really can have healthy gums, clean teeth, and fresh breath, without brushing! Oratene products are free of antibiotics and other harsh ingredients. These are the best products for dog dental health I've found, and I've tried several brands.
PIN THIS!
Here's how Oratene works to promote Dog Dental Health
The Oratene product line features Enzymatic Brushless Oral Care for pets. That means it uses the power of enzymes to help keep your dog or cats' teeth clean, breath fresh, and gums healthy. These Veterinarian approved products make dog dental care so easy, I have pretty much ditched the dog toothbrush for good!
Oratene's natural, multi-complex enzyme system doesn't require brushing to keep your pet's mouth clean and healthy. Two patented enzyme systems work together to eliminate odor-causing bacteria and yeast, and make plaque biofilm water soluble, making it unable to stick to the pets' teeth.
Oratene's comprehensive dog dental care product line includes
Drinking Water Additive
Just add the clear, flavorless liquid to your dog's daily drinking water. Plaque fighting enzymes wash over your dog's mouth with every lap of water to eliminate odor causing bacteria and inhibit plaque formation.
Brushless Toothpaste Gel
Just a 1/2 inch strip of gel applied to your dog's gums twice daily keep your dog's teeth and gums clean and inhibit plaque buildup to support periodontal health. There's no rinsing needed. Icy and Phoebe really like the taste of Oratene's brushless toothpaste gel!
Breath Freshening Spray
Delivers a gentle mist that eliminates odor causing bacteria and freshens your dog's breath.
Oratene Pet Dental Health products are safe for both Dogs and Cats and don't contain toxic ingredients such as Xylitol, Detergents, Chlorine, or Alcohol.

We brush our dog's teeth daily and we do use enzymatic toothpaste--I think they all are. We've always done that and I find that it keeps the teeth in a good shape for a year or two before the mouth needs dental cleaning. That's as far as we were ever able to stretch it.
Combined we raw meaty bones, though it seems to work perfectly. Our Rottie is coming up on 9 years of age; we did dental x-rays a couple of months ago when she was in for joint injections and she did not need any dental work except minor cleaning of one of the molars all the way in the back.
I brush Layla's teeth twice a day and would love to try this product as I am always looking for something good and healthy
I'll have to look into this for my dogs. They love dental chews, but it isn't enough for them.
I'm impressed that you're able to brush your dogs teeth every day! I tried but it just doesn't work & only doing it occasionally isn't sufficient. Thanks for sharing your dog dental care routine.
Wow, you can brush her teeth twice a day! That's amazing. Brushing didn't work w/ my dogs, it was torture for them. These products are so great, I love them and my dogs are cool with them!
I know, the dental chews are great & I think the do help, but it's not enough. I still give them dental chews but I use both the water additive and the brushless toothpaste get. It's such an easy routine.
Awesome giveaway! Zymox has been my 'go to' for ear issues ever since our old vet recommended we use their ear products to help with my younger dog's ear infections. For some reason I wasn't aware they make dental products too. I do brush my dogs' teeth, and use another brand of dental chews that seem to work really well. My dogs are 12 and 5 and, so far, have never had any dental issues. :)
I entered as i would love to try it also
I wish I could brush my dog and cats teeth, but I would lose a finger. Love the idea of it though!
All our dogs were always great putting up with teeth brushing, though they don't understand what the heck it is about. Even for brushing, we use an enzymatic toothpaste.
Many dogs, though frown on having weird things shoved in their mouths; a brushing-free tooth paste must be a God-sent for them.
Brushless products are a great way to address your pet's dental health. Especially with the large number of pets that aren't interested in having their teeth brushed... Our pups are pretty good about it but good luck convincing Pippen that brushing her teeth is a good idea. She WILL draw blood if given the opportunity lol
Oh what a great product. This makes dental care so much easier for pet parents. I remember those days chasing my furkids so I could attempt to brush their teeth and gums. It was never as easy as this. Thanks for sharing!
I need this for my cats. This stuff looks totally brilliant!!! I bet your teeth are amazing!!
We discovered Zymox with our first Shih Tzu. He would get ear infections (for the first year that we had him) and it worked like magic. Ever since then, we've been big fans! Will share!
They're a great company. They make brushless oral care for pets, itch relief shampoo & conditioner, ear cleaner & even Equine products. Check out their new online store!
LOL, same here! I was torturing my dogs trying to brush their teeth. I was so happy when I found Oratene, it's so easy!
You're so lucky your dogs let you brush their teeth daily! Most dogs & cats hate it, mine sure do. Zymox Oratene products really have been a Godsend to us, they make it easy to keep their teeth & gums clean.
Oh definitely! Oratene makes it so easy for us. I use the water additive daily and the brushless toothpaste mostly every day.
It really does make it easy, it was so stressful trying to jam a finger brush into their mouths. They hated it! This routine of water additive and brushless toothpaste is so simple.
It is so easy and convenient! I'm so happy I found this company & these products. It's great for both dogs and cats!
I love Zymox products. Thankfully my dogs don't get ear infections (Knock on wood!), but I love the oral care products and the itch relief shampoo & conditioning rinse. They all work so well.
I don't think people realize how important dental health is, both for humans and their pets. I'm extremely lucky that Truffle and Brulee have great teeth.
I usually rely on dental treats.
Good oral health and hygiene begin with clean teeth, proper dental care habits, and awareness of daily behaviors. Brushing and flossing properly from a young age helps prevent oral disease—such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer—as you age. Nutrition, regular teeth cleanings, and your medical history also impact your oral health standing. goodsamdenta
True, many people don't realize it.
absolutely!
WOW!!! Zymox and Oratene dental care pet products seem simple and easy. Plus, your giveaway looks amazing! Dental care is absolutely essential in our pets health and well being. I have a dental care system for Henry, which seems to be working great. I made a promise to him when I adopted him that I'd do everything possible prevent him from anesthesia and surgeries. That included professional dental cleaning from the vet. So far, he hasn't needed a the vet to clean his teeth. I'd say the Zymox and Oratene dental care system seem like it would work perfectly too. Super information as always, Cathy. I'm sharing with all my dog parents.
Dental health is so important! I used to use the finger brushes and toothpaste with my FiveSibes. They loved the mint! These products look great, too. I'm Pinning to share! Some lucky winner took home some nice product! Congrats!
